April Dineout

Our dineout event for April will be on April 16 at Beef Shack in Bartlett (30W100 Army Trail Rd). Order any time 10:30 am-9:00 pm and mention Spring Trail or show this flyer on your phone. Unfortunately, online orders do NOT count toward our total for this event, so please make sure to order in person!

Penny Wars

Start checking between those couch cushions, and get the kiddos to clean out the car! One of our students’ favorite competitions is coming up: it’s Penny Wars! The week of April 21, there will be a table out front of the school with buckets for each grade. Pennies and paper cash will earn your grade positive points. Silver coins (quarters, dimes, nickels) are used to SABOTAGE other grades - they are worth negative points! Scores will be announced at the end of the day each day, with a winning grade voting Friday April 25 on a local charity that will receive half of what is brought in. The other half is used to support our Battle of the Books program. This is a fun and exciting time of year!

We Have Been Changed... For Good

This year, our theme for Staff Appreciation Week is Wicked! It will take place May 5-9 and planning is going strong! We are currently seeking volunteers to help make this event for the teachers and staff a success. If you can help with any of the below, please email board@springtrailpto.org

• cut out decorations at home prior to the event week
• help decorate on 5/2 (2:30-5:00)
• help run errands the week of the event
